God has given us good gifts, but in our sin, we have made those gifts ends in and of themselves. We obtain what we desire, only to desire what we do not have. All of our pursuits, be it pleasure, wisdom or work will fall decidedly short apart from one finding their joy and contentment in God’s simple gifts. Our culture pursues a dream that will ultimately turn into a nightmare. We have opportunity to live differently and, through Christ, model what true contentment looks like. 1. Self-indulgence will not satisfy (vs. 1-11) 2. Wisdom cannot solve every problem (vs. 12-17) 3. Hard work is often wasted (vs. 18-23) 4. Slow down and enjoy the gifts God has given (vs. 24-26) Songs: The Lion And The Lamb #7038281 by B Brown, B Johnson & L Mooring 2015 © Meaux Mercy, Bethel Music Publishing Christ Be Magnified #7139866 by C Carnes, C Asbury & E Hulse Capitol CMG Paragon, Writer's Roof Publishing Great Are You Lord #6460220 by J Ingram, L Jordan & D Leonard 2012 Open Hands Music, Sony/ATV Timber Publishing, I
